   Fits good , and is good quality. I just wish you could also buy the 5.11 plates with it. The other brands will work with it. But they don’t fit as good an it messes with the fit. I had to go to a 5.11 store to get 5.11 plates. The ones recommended for it online (in another brand ) are not recommended by me. Use 5.11 , you’ll just have to buy them separately somewhere else.

   This is a great way to enhance a hike for a harder workout. I like how it sits on my torso.. Not too low and good padding on the shoulders. Takes a little finessing to get the weights in, but not too bad. The most challenging part is getting it on and off. I use it with forty pounds inside. Great for hiking and dynamic moves, but it would be damaging to run in. I recommend it

   Nicht gerade billig. 5.11 halt.. Aber spitzen Qualität. Super verarbeitet. Hab 2 10 kg Platten drin. Hätte nicht gedacht, dass das Klettsystem das so gut hält. Klare Kaufempfehlung.

   Buen ajuste y acabados del chaleco, la incorporación de las placas es fácil.

   I purchased this in November 2022, and over the past 13 months, I have worn it 3-4 times a week while hiking. I really like the product and recommend it, but beware, the front plate has worn through and ‘cut’ the webbing strap and the carrier securing the front plate. I figured the plate could have a sharp edge, but the photos show that the plate edge(s) are not sharp. I also slid my finger over the edges, too. Anywho, it is an excellent product, but I suggest you occasionally check its nylon components to ensure the plates are not doing damage. —January 2024 Update— 5.11 reached out to me and had me supply proof of purchase, a description of the problem, and photos. A week later, I had a brand new vest shipped to me. That is exceptional customer service, which had me order a number of other 5.11 products, and a lifetime customer.

   I am a large man. 300 lb powerlifter who is switching over to a more “functional” fitness. That being said I have a very large chest. I was pleased to see that the straps in the back of the vest can be adjusted by removing the stitching and letting the strap slide to the next section. When you are using 25lb plates this makes a huge difference. On top of that very positive attribute, you get the quality you would expect from 5.11’s tactical merchandise, the ability to load the heaviest plates you can find, and retain comfort. There are a lot of good brands out there, don’t sleep on this one.

   This vest is great! I use it for runs, walks, and hikes. Fits great and is comfortable. I like the pocket in the front and I usually hold my keys and phone in there while out. I used curved plates from githubja.com and they fit like a glove. I’m 5’1” 128lbs for reference.

   It’s an empty vest with no weight. the company doesn’t sell the weights that need to be put in and it doesn’t show which one would fit well either. buy a different brand
   

9. Kostas Verified Buyer – 18 March 2025

   Doesn’t come with weights. No room for adding weights. Mediocre quality. Extremely expensive.

    It fits well and very secure. Adjustment is easy for the chest and shoulders. I have used it on several workouts, and I am very happy with the fit, feel, functionality, and security. Very well made.

    If you’re searching training vests this is a decent find. The price point is high considering how many options currently exist, and considering it’s just a carrier, minus weighted plates- I purchased a set of wolf tactical plates which put me at about 240$ out the door.. for those of you that run kit, and are accustomed to load bearing gear with curved ceramic plates this is not that. Training plates are flat, no contour and that takes a lil getting use to- all of that said, it’s a nice addition if you want to tax your system just that much more on a hike or run

    

12. Calvert Smith Verified Buyer – 15 April 2025

    Very happy with this weight training vest. I put 8.57lbs rogue weight plates in it that I’ve had and went on my first walk. I was looking for a comfortable vest that I could use with my weight plates to turn my walks into more of a workout and this did the trick. Only thing I would change would be the weights that I have for ones that are more curved for a more comfortable fit.
